8 Secret Fast Food Menu Items For Your Dog Slideshow
In recent years, fast food chains have been going out of their way to make sure that they offer something for everybody, be it fresh salads or antibiotic-free chicken or Mac n' Cheetos. But what about for dogs? You might be surprised to learn that plenty of fast food chains have off-menu items for man's best friend.
Chick-Fil-A: Drive-Thru Treats
If you're visiting a drive-thru Chick-Fil-A with the dog, be sure to ask if they have any treats by the window. Many of them keep some stashed back there!
Dairy Queen: Pup Cup
If you ask for a Pup Cup the next time you visit a Dairy Queen with the pup, you'll be handed a free small serving of soft serve vanilla ice cream so you can share the love.
In-N-Out: Pup Patty, Flying Dutchman
In-N-Out offers a couple options for dogs: The first is the pup patty, which is a plain, salt-free burger patty. Another off-menu item, which is also available for humans but was supposedly originally devised for dogs, is the Flying Dutchman, which is two beef patties and two slices of cheese.
Shake Shack: Pooch-Ini, Bag O’Bones
More than any other chain, Shake Shack goes above and beyond to cater to your four-legged friend. They offer the Pooch-ini, which consists of dog biscuits (specially made for Shake Shack by Bocce's Bakery), peanut butter, and vanilla custard; or you can ask for a Bag O'Bones, which contains five of those specially made biscuits.
Sonic: Doggy Treats
Many Sonic locations keep dog treats on hand, so let them know when you place your order and you might just receive a little something extra with your meal.
Sprinkles: Doggie Cupcakes
Even doggies need cupcakes! Ask for a cupcake for your pooch the next time you visit a Sprinkles, and for $2.50 they'll give you a sugar-free cupcake with yogurt-based "frosting."
Starbucks: Puppuccino
If your dog feels left out when you come back from a Starbucks run without anything for him, just ask for a "Puppuccino" the next time you visit one. You'll be handed a small cup filled with whipped cream.
Tim Hortons: Sugar-Free Timbits
Timbits are Tim Hortons' answer to Dunkin' Donuts' Munchkins, and most locations keep some sugar-free versions around for when Fido visits. Looking for something a bit healthier? Give your canine the royal treatment with these basic but super-nutritious foods.
